This Squad Rush match centers around the Hilltop and Gas Station as the US attackers attempt to knock out two M-COM stations. With no vehicles to use, the US attackers have far to travel in each engagement.
Radio Beacons and squad spawning are essential for maintaining a presence close to each M-COM station. The RU defenders definitely have the upper hand in this match, holding the hard-to-climb Hilltop zone at the outset.
The surrounding trees and rocks provide plenty of cover and concealment that is ideal for staging ambushes on unsuspecting attackers.
ZONE 1: HILLTOP
In this first round of the match, the US attackers deploy near the Checkpoint and must attack an M-COM station on the Hilltop. It’s literally an uphill climb for the US team in this zone, so the RU defenders should try to take advantage of the height offered by the Hilltop.
The M-COM station is located in a tiny concrete structure next to the large com tower. Initially there is only one narrow entrance into this small structure, but by using explosive weapons you can create your own doorway.
However, completely demolishing the structure isn’t a wise move for the attackers as this leaves them totally exposed while attempting to set a charge.
If the structure is completely destroyed, make sure to deploy smoke before attempting to set or disarm the charge.
ZONE 2: GAS STATION
The second and final M-COM station is located in the Gas Station’s garage, next to the staircase leading up to the roof. The rooftop is a good cover point for at least one of the defenders and is ideal for spotting distant attackers.
However, most of the defending team should stay on the ground and cover the western and eastern entrances into the garage. The US attackers have a decent hike from their deployment area at the Hilltop.
Placing a Radio Beacon somewhere near the Gas Station significantly cuts down the commute time. However, a coordinated squad attack is required to make a move on the final M-COM station.
Don’t get suckered into using the eastern and western entrances. Use rockets or grenades to make your own entry points and plant the charge.
